Priest to gov't execs: Stop finger-pointing over Mamasapano

MANILA, Philippines -  An official of a religious group on Friday called on government officials to stop blaming each other regarding the carnage in Mamasapano, Maguindanao last January 25, where 44 44 Special Action Force commandos were killed. 
 
Father Dexter Toledo, executive secretary of the Association of the Major Religious Superior of the Philippines, said confrontations of government officials and blaming each other for the tragedy will not give justice to the fallen policemen.
 
"Wala po talagang perpekto. Lahat ay nagkakamali ngunit kung may pagkakamali man kailangan itama natin at hindi naman tayo matatapos sa pagtanggap mahalaga yun tinatanggap natin. Pero you also create ways para itama natin lalo higit itong mga pangyayari na ito sa atin," Father Toledo told Church-run Radyo Veritas. .
 
The prelate also reminded everyone the Pope' message to be instruments of peace.
 
"Mahalaga na makita natin yun sinasabi ng Santo Papa na wala man siyang sagot sa mga problemang dinudulog sa kanya pero ramdam mo na kasama natin sya at siguro sa panahon na ito yun ang dapat ipakita ng ating mga lider sa lipunan na tayo," Father Toledo added. 
 
Earlier, some leaders of the Catholic Church called on President Benigno Aquino III to resign his post for the Mamasapano tragedy.
